The Athletics designated Barrera for assignment Friday.

Barrera was placed on waivers in order to make room on the roster for fellow outfielder Conner Capel, who was claimed off waivers Friday. Barrera holds a .632 OPS in the majors this season, which jumps to .782 in the minors over 294 Triple-A plate appearances.
